Note: All items are sold "AS IS/AS DESCRIBED", to the best of our knowledge, research and ability. ITEM DESCRIPTION: Here is the 1st of 2 Absolutely Beautiful Mid Century, Early 1960’s, Original Signed Austrian Oil Paintings by the listed artist ‘Kurt Vuković’ (or Vukovic, Austrian, 1897-), whose signature appears lower right in the image area. Please see our other listing. This 1st Painting is titled in the lower right margin by the artist but is written in German and I can’t quite figure out all of it “Hohn Priel maybe???

From our records: Kurt Vuković was born in 1897 near Vienna, Austria (in the Austro-Hungarian Empire as it was known then). He is primarily known for his paintings of the Austrian Alps, landscapes and floral still lifes which express his love of nature.

Originally the Czechoslovakian area (Bohemia) was known as the Austro Hungarian Empire until about 1918 when it became Czechoslovakia (from 1918-1993), and is now known as the Czech Republic. The lands of Bohemia and Moravia were under Austrian rule from 1867-1918, so I don’t believe listing him as a ‘Czech’ artist would be quite correct (though Czech is the spoken language), moreover I think he would be considered ‘Austrian’ or more politically correct ‘Austro-Hungarian’ during that time period.
